It's only for people who are way into soul and jazz.
Sorry, Jman... you don't know what you're talking about.
Baduizm is a massive album, and I'm choked that it's up against Funeral this early in the tournament. I love both albums... Arcade Fire gets the slight edge, in a battle of brilliance vs brilliance. _________________ Finnegan was super bad-ass.
Ok wow Baduizm was outstanding. Ugh I hate this pairing. Of course I have to go with Funeral because it's on my chart and blah blah blah but Baduizm does not deserve to be knocked out this early. Thanks for the discovery Saorise, easily one of the best out of any of the recent tournaments
It warms the cockles to see how everybody has taken to Baduizm. It won't win, but I didn't expect it to put up this much of a fight. One of my favourite albums ever by one of my favourite artists. I recommend anybody who enjoyed Badiuzm check out New Amerykah pts. One & Two, Worldwide Underground and, to a lesser extent, Mama's Gun, which is her least great studio album but still contains the likes of 'Didn't Cha Know?' and 'Green Eyes', the latter of which is probably my favourite Erykah song. So yeah, she just has a killer discography, and at various times three of her albums have been on my chart. A singular artist with a unique sound who, to use that famous John Peel mantra about The Fall, is "always different, always the same". Glad to see so many of you enjoying her music.
I feel so bad that I didnt really dig Baduizm as much as a lot of people. Although Im abstaining because I dont think Funeral is all that great either. Sorry friends Ive failed you all.
Tbh, I wasn't that crazy about Baduizm, either. I mean, it was a lovely album, but it's not really my style, I'm afraid. I can certainly see why everyone loves it so much, though.
I nominated Baduizm so that more would hopefully take time to listen to it, and it's great so many have taken a liking to it, so that trumps any contest results. And no it's not just some soul and jazz record, personally I find it genreless, it's all about the mood and setting it puts you in, an amazing sense of anteroom-mental-peace.

OK, maybe I shouldn't have spoken for everyone. Never meant to.
